CHAl'TUI G Till: Fl"'\l ENEMY

These rare plants grow a long isolated stony shelves in un·
derwater trenches. A creature that consumes the fronds of
rapture weed becomes poisoned for 6 hours, during which
time it experiences occasional hallucinations and a feeling
of euphoria. Sahuagin priests often use rapture weed in
t heir worship (as does the priestess in area 36).
Any creature that consumes rapture weed has a 1 per·
cent chance of instead becoming incapacitated for the du·
ration of the plant's effect. During this time it experiences
terrifying visions of an enormous shark devouring great
amounts of prey.
When the effect wears off or is negated, the creature
must succeed on a DC 1 S Wisdom saving throw o r be af.

while the ceiling has white tiles. There is a small table
in the center of the room with a small, matching bench
beside it.
A seaweed bed covers the southeast corner. A coffer,
its lid closed, stands in the southwest corner. A hollow
space by the bed contains a ceremonial dagger with a

  1. Prayer Room








This room has walls and ceiling tiled in dark green. A
mosaic on the northern wall depicts a huge two-headed
shark leading countless sahuagin toward the surface of
the water.
An a ltar on the west wall is made of a massive shark
jaw and tee t h mounted on a stone base. The base is sur·
rounded by small skulls and living sea creatures.

The priestesses use this area to pray to Sekolah. It is
currently unoccupied.
A character who searches the altar and makes a suc-
cessful DC 14 Wisdom (Perception) check discovers a
hidden compartment under the stone base of the shark
jaws. The compartment contains twelve portions of
rapture weed that the priestesses use in rituals (see the
"Rapture Weed" sidebar).
